Can’t breathe

Haven’t been

Day to day

Coughing lungs

One gives up clogs up

In my face

Months

Months!

Dealt with it

Not dying

Not of this

sick mentally

sick emotionally

sick physically

Falling mind

Falling apart

Stress from outside

Body breaking

To nothing

I’ll be gone

Grains of sand.
